a.
To indicate whether the Axiom of choice must be employed to select one element from each set in the following collections.
a.

Explanation of Solution
Given:
Consider the infinite collection of sets, each set containing one odd and one even integer.
Calculation:
Since, in the infinite collection of the sets, each set containing one odd and one even integer that is each set in the infinite collection is nonempty and finite
Then, the collection is infinite collection of nonempty sets but its sets are finite
Since, the Axiom of Choice is that if
Therefore, there is no need the Axiom of Choice to select one element from each set in the collection.
Hence, there is no need to employ the Axiom of Choice.
b.

Hence, there is no need to employ the Axiom of Choice.
d.
To indicate whether the Axiom of Choice must be employed.
d.

Explanation of Solution
Given:
Consider the denumerable collection of uncountable sets.
Calculation:
